MASSIVE adware problem

My system currently cannot access the internet using a browser. It can use AIM, and I am able to access my email through Outlook, but this is the extent of my usage.

The follow error happens when I attempt to access the internet:

HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden Internet Explorer

This happens no matter what site I try to access, google, anything else, causing me to have to send even this message through my boyfriend's computer.
